Born in Istanbul, future jeweler Lika Behar draws creative inspiration from this grand city. Established alongside the rise of Anatolian cultures and now evolved into a global hub, Istanbul has profoundly shaped her artistic vision.
Raised within a family of renowned gold merchants, a profession historically essential to the Mediterranean region, it is unsurprising that her collections employ time-honored methods and consist solely of 24-karat gold. This approach yields distinctive forged pieces characterized by a tactile, contemporary sensuality.
As a hereditary goldsmith and designer, Behar utilizes 24-karat gold treated to achieve a rich, dark yellow hue, perfectly suited for the modern woman. She also incorporates colored gemstones, set uniquely to capture various shades evocative of deep ocean tones.
